Accept+Carl

Knowing that it took her husband a small act of courage, Karen swallowed her boiling rage of angry words. She was not about to lose her nerve in front of her "bother-in-law." Karen quickly picked up the dinner plates and left the room. Carl was quickly at her heels. With Karen holding back tears, Carl spread his arms and engulfed her in a bear hug. "Hey honey, I know my mom isn't tactful and doesn't think about what words are flowing from her mouth. I did plan to tell you about the reunion party this weekend. If you don't want to go, we'll stay home. Our marriage is more important than some silly reunion party and I could care less about seeing Jacqueline again."
